£150 for graphic card n ram?

is it worth upgrading from 2GB (2048MB) 533Mhz PC4200 DDR2 to 2GB (2048MB) 800Mhz PC6400 DDR2 and having 2 X Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB Graphics with 2 x Dual Link DVI-I, HDTV for £150-£180 ??

 

Where did you find an 8800GTX for that price?

 

it's included in the package http://www.arbico.co.uk/home.php?cat=331

this is the more expensive one:
Choice of Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 CPU OR Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU
SLI Ready Motherboard
2 X Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB Graphics with 2 x Dual Link DVI-I, HDTV
2GB (2048MB) 800Mhz PC6400 DDR2 Memory
320GB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive

and this is the one that costs 150 - 180 quid less:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU (Free Upgrade to INTEL QUAD CORE Q6600 OR CORE 2 DUO E6850 CPU)
768MB Nvidia 8800GTX Graphics Dual VGA
2GB (2048MB) 533Mhz PC4200 DDR2
500GB (2x250GB) SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive
NEC 18x Dual Layer DVD +/- Rewriter

 

You're not really going to see very much performance gains from upgrading the RAM. Unless you have a buyer who will give you a VERY good price for your existing RAM, I'd say don't bother.

I can't tell you what SLI is like with 2 8800s. I know in the past it was flakey at best, but that may have changed by now.

If you don't mind, where are you getting an 8800GTX and 2GB of RAM for £180? Cos at that price, I might be persuaded to throw an extra gig of RAM and a 2nd GTX into my rig.
Edit: Beaten!

 

I'm getting a new pc...and I'm not sure if to chose the 1st option or the 2nd one from the link provided so I haven't really have anything to sell hehe

 

If you were to buy the upgrade you could probably easily sell the 2nd GTX for £200

 

well if I would got for the 1st one - I wouldn't really want to sell anything as the 2nd graphic card may come in handy in a year or two

 

If you buy the first one, I will buy the 8800gtx off you for £200 that way we both get a good deal!
PM if you are interested

 

hehe I had a few PMs already about this - but no I'm not planning on selling the 2nd graphic card

 

go for the first one, and hum.......... shame, i was going to ask for the 2nd graphics card.

anyway, it's a bargain for gaining the GTX and more processing power. there's no reason not to.

also, go for q6600 as well, then buy a kick-a** cooler, and run your q6600 at 400x8=3.2Ghz. that's 200Mhz more than the stock e6850 while having 2 more cores

 

What size display are you goin to be gaming on? If you have a 24 incher or smaller, then you only need to go for the single.
